Noisy tow hooks
Anyone have an idea for helping to keep the clang noise out of tow hooks while driving? I used o-rings but they deteriorated

Not sure what you mean when you say you have used prints, but have you tried something like this?

I'm assuming you are referring to the bow shackles (D-rings). Honestly if you want a DIY solution, take the rubber washers from your old OEM shocks and use those. I cut my washers in half and slid then on over the bolt and my shackles stay put exactly how I left them despite 15-20 miles of washboard roads.

O-rings... not prints sorry. It’s really the bolt giggling in the hole that makes the noise. Yes I have this exact set.
I was hoping to find some sort of polymer sleeve that would slide over the bolt and still fit through the holes.
